Well I hope you're right! Aviance is a source that isn't usually wrong, and that's what someone heard on the DTVA thread.
I suppose it's encouraging that they're handing the route partially back to mainline for the Winter at least.

Well if Peel is trying to hold it back that can only mean it's not good.
What annoys me is that bmi were supposed to be reviewing the base in September yet it all seems to have been decided prior to August!

A question to anyone who might have tried it.
How is the BMI flight from Glasgow International to Venice in Italy?(operated weekly on a charter basis)
I've heard it's not a really direct flight,as it does a stopover at Newcastle both ways.
Is this true?
Any report about this flight would be appreciated.

Thanks.
So it's not a very comfortable flight for Glasgow travellers.At least they could have split the hassle between the two airports by starting one leg from Newcastle.
It's a pity,the advantage of the holiday flight from Scotland is to avoid the London connection,but in this case I'm not so sure.

I hear LBA-Lille is being canned. Another in the illustrious roll-call of "what were they thinking?" short-lived bmi regional routes! Yes, all carriers need to try routes out, and no, they won't always work, but it just seems to me that in recent years bmir seem to have had a higher propensity for choosing dogs than most...

The situation at LHR is being blamed, but I wonder is there more to it than that; after all, BD has five A332s on order. What is going to happen to these? Will it swap production slots with other airlines? Quite expensive if they have to take them and again, have to use them on routes other than those intended.
Of course, they could take delivery and return MAN-IAD to a 330 operation and return to the LHR-BOM route? Any other non-US long haul routes being looked at?

The article mentions 2 of the 5 'new' A330s arriving Spring '08, does anyone know when the remaining 3 are arriving?
Also with the 5 new (BMED) A321s, what are the scheduled delivery dates for these?

Cannot say I blame Sir MB for delaying whilst the LHR infrastructure is so poor.
When BMI do take on the others, it will need a superior service as well as keen pricing to compete effectively.
Anyone remembering the competition between BMA and the BA shuttle between LHR and GLA/EDI will also remember the lesson that BA were taught then. I would suspect that Sir MB remembers only too well and that is why he is prepared to wait.
